Report: Magic Leap One Sales Are Horrible, New Version ‘Years Away’
Six months after its release, Magic Leap has reportedly sold only 6,000 augmented reality headsets. Now, the well-funded startup could be "years away" from releasing an upgraded model.
The Magic Leap One made its global debut in August 2018. It's available for $2,295, which appears to be a price that most consumers aren't comfortable with due to augmented reality's limited history. Now, with consumers hesitant to invest in Magic Leap's ecosystem, the well-funded startup doesn't have a clear path forward.
Magic Leap has begun development on an upgraded model. Called the 'Magic Leap Two' behind closed doors, it features a simplified design along with a wider field of view and 5G connectivity. The report claims Magic Leap is running into "fundamental technology constraints," though.
